Question

Isabelle has a five-sided chicken coop in her yard. Each side has an equal length.

What is the total perimeter of the chicken coop if the length of one side is yards? Recall that the perimeter is the sum of all sides of a shape or boundary.

8/5 yards
15/5 yards
8/25 yards
15/25 yards

Answer 1

Perimeter = 5 × (side length). If the side length is 3/5 yard, the perimeter is 5 × (3/5) = 15/5 yards = 3 yards.

So the correct choice is 15/5 yards.
